TRANSCRIPT
We have had a very busy two months since
the 2015 Legislative Session closed. Our
members have been very active with our Chapter
Programs.
Chapter JROTC/ROTC Awards: I want to
thank all the members who volunteered to be
presenters in 2015. I want to especially thank
Mike Cochrane (CDR USN Ret) for all his efforts
in chairing this process and making it a success.
We presented the MOAA Medal and Certificate to
17 Cadets/Midshipmen in 14 High Schools and the 3 ROTC programs at
UNM (Army, Navy & Air Force). The High Schools included: Del Norte,
Laguna-Acoma, V. Sue Cleveland, Valley, Volcano Vista, Sandia,
Highland, Rio Rancho, Grants, El Dorado, Albuquerque, West Mesa,
Manzano and Moriarty.
Tours Group: Thanks to Karen and Judy tours were organized to the
Santa Fe School of Cooking/Museum Hill in April and a major trip to the
North Rim of the Grand Canyon in May. If you have never traveled with
the Tours Group you are missing out on a great experience.
Ski Club: Had their final trip end of March to Monarch Mountain and
their end of year ski party in April at the NM Veterans Memorial. Thanks
to the leadership of Reg Rider (BrigGen USAF Ret) there is a waiting list

program every month. This was especially in
evidence in April, when Roger Mickelson (COL USA
Ret) spoke on the subject of World War IV (Facing
the Reality of War against Islamic Extremism). If
you have never attended the last Wednesday of
the month get-togethers at Weck's (3913
Louisiana NE, ABQ), give it a try.
Our Chapter past president, Roger Mickelson,
and I participated in the Council of Chapters
meeting in Santa Fe on 2 May. The main topic of
discussion was the Legislative session and what
we, as part of the Military/Veterans community,
need to do differently to get priority passage for
Military/Veterans Legislation in the 2016 legislative
session. We are very lucky to have Dave Coulie
(Capt USAF Ret) and Max Hoffman (LTC USA Ret)
spearheading the MOAA legislative efforts.
Finally, on a more somber note, on 23 May we
held our annual MOAA Chapter Memorial Service
for Chapter members who had passed in the
previous year +. We remembered and celebrated
the lives of 22 members at the NM Veterans
Memorial.
Thank you all for your active participation in
the Chapter and I look forward to meeting many
of you at upcoming events in 2015.
Sincerely,
Walter
Walter Paul, LTC (USA Retired) Chapter President
(Continued from page 1)
In 2012 Chapter established the Albuquerque
Chapter of MOAA Endowment at the Albuquerque
Community Foundation (ACF) to enhance our
current, and especially our future, ability to
contribute to worthy charitable organizations that
help our military personnel, veterans and their
families. The endowment was initiated in late
January of 2012 and has grown well as a result of
contributions and the growth in the investments.
The Board has adopted a policy of using the
annual distributable amount to increase our Giving
in each year. For those who are so inclined, gifts
can be made to the Chapter Endowment as a part
of a member’s estate or as part of a yearly
donation. More information about the annual
performance and use of the distribution will be
published in a future ALBUMOAA. For questions,
the Chapter point of contact is the treasurer, Clint
Whisonant, [email protected] or 505-410-
1417 (cell).

Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family of those who have passed to their eternal rest. May all
those who grieve be comforted.
